Our Pittsburgh Penguins are now at the end of their first quarter, so it is time to offer up my grades for players and coaching staff.
Forwards and Defensemen
Since this is only a quarter point and there isn’t a whole lot of time for me to look in too much detail, I am limiting my grading schemes. As anyone who has read anything I have written when it comes to grading, I strive to be as objective as possible. For the Forwards and defenseman, I chose to look at their Primary Points (Pnts’) per 60 minutes 5-on-5, where Pnts’ is defined as the sum of their Goals (G) and their Primary Assists (A’), the Team Goals For (TGF) per 60 minutes 5-on-5 for which they were in the ice, and the Team Goals Against (TGA) per 60 minutes 5-on-5 for which they were on the ice.
